Simba Bhora . . . . . . . (2) 4
Triangle . . . . . . . . . . 0
Castle Lager Premier Soccer League defending champions Simba Bhora returned to winning ways with goals from Ishmael Nyanhi and Donald Mudadi inspiring a comfortable home victory over a miserable Triangle United at Wadzanayi Stadium yesterday.
Joel Luphahla's side desperately needed a win after a 2-0 setback against title rivals Scottland last week, and the result never looked in doubt after Nyanhi's ninth minute opener.
Mudadi doubled the home side's lead with a fine finish in the 33rd minute, connecting an Emmanuel Ziocha's cross for his second assist of the match.
Simba Bhora should have been further ahead at the start of the second half with defender Webster Tafa hitting the woodwork twice.
Junior Makunike then added a third on 72nd minute with a composed finish for his third goal of the season, although credit for the goal goes to Carlos Makambira who did all the hardwork by beating two markers before putting the ball on the platter for his fellow midfielder.
Substitute Never Tigere put the icing on the cake in added on time, firing home from a tight angle after put through by teenage substitute Cole Tsimba.
